"Wait," you’re saying to yourself, holding your pumpkin spice latte like your life depends on it, “it’s barely October. Quit talking about snow. STAHP” (a note to the grammar people out there who will inevitably email the newsroom: this is how millennials spell “stop”).

Well, calm down. This is Colorado, and Colorado does what it wants – especially in the High Country, which saw a pretty impressive fall snowstorm the last few days.

If you don’t like the snow, remember that some people do – such as a Bernese mountain dog who happens to be a ski resort’s unofficial mascot.

HI PARKER. GOD MORNING.&nbsp;

This inquisitive elk also seems cool with the whole situation.
